My clients often start therapy feeling confused and frustrated that their successes have not reduced their experiences of self-doubt, discontent and disconnectedness. They may feel burdened by the impacts of old fears and traumas and unsure of how to break old patterns. Through our therapeutic journey together we deepen our understanding of how these challenges have developed and how we can work towards creating a greater sense of freedom, openness, compassion, connection and joy while reducing feelings of anxiety, self-judgment and shame.

Somatic Therapy, Breema Bodywork, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). As a trauma-informed somatic therapist, I work relationally to support children, teens, and adults looking to deepen their life and soul purpose. Common issues include anxiety, depression, overwhelm, boundaries, grief, self-doubt, self-worth, and childhood neglect. In conjunction with identifying day-to-day struggles, we explore family legacy, ancestral patterns, symbolism, and archetypes for guidance. I keep in mind that we all have a story, and we are all influenced by time and place; our families of origin, our communities, and the state of the planet.

Therapy is a journey of looking inward in order to move onward in your life in a more present, whole-hearted way. I believe deeply that every person has the ability to work through loss, sadness, anxiety and other painful experiences to become more fully alive. When we avoid or numb uncomfortable or difficult feelings, we also numb our ability to feel joy, peace of mind, gratitude and love. Speaking our truths in the presence of empathy, warmth and non-judgement can be the first step towards healing.

Sometimes life is hard. Inevitably it occasionally may feel intolerable, tremendous, or overwhelming. At times, challenges may feel insurmountable, and appear to require courage that is assumed to exceed our current capacity. And, especially during significant change, may evoke questioning the fundamentals of identity, relationships, and/or the external world. Although challenges in life cannot be avoided or prematurely alleviated, they can be shared in the space and experienced with healing. Within this process, there is a depth of potential for the parts of the self that hold the strength and resilience yet to be discovered.

When grief hasn't been fully addressed, it can look like depression, anxiety, isolation, addictive behaviors to escape the pain, workaholism, relationships that are fragile, a lack of motivation, or feeling overwhelming resentment and bitterness. And grief can occur after a variety of losses that many people don't realize: divorce, moving, graduation, empty nest, retirement, an impactful change in financial position or physical abilities, a pandemic. My clients acutely feel how unresolved grief has become an impediment to living their lives in full, having healthy relationships, and having the energy to go after their goals.

I've been in private practice for 40+ yrs. and have specialized in couples' relationship therapy both direct treatment and in workshops in the Bay Area. My approach is direct and involved with each partner. I focus on both the emotional and behavioral aspects unique to each couple. With most male partners, I am able to offer a safe setting that strongly invites men to engage in the treatment. When needed, I will recommend a co-therapy approach with my wife, Dr. Ciele Jupe. Additionally, therapy with men seeking change or resolving work/life issues is a specialty as well.
